<< review queue entry 55398 - submitted by 'davidsands' >> Google image search for 鲎 only shows horseshoe crabs, not king crab (commonly called 帝王蟹) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Editor: Apparently, "king crab" is (or was) in fact another name for "horseshoe crab". 1) The term "king crab" is sometimes used for horseshoe crabs, but it is more usually applied to a group of decapod crustaceans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_horseshoe_crab 2) https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica/King-Crab 3) https://archive.org/details/anatomyofkingcra00owen -------------- Taiwan Panorama ~ 台灣俗諺常形容惡名遠播的人說「死蟳活鱟，未煮先臭」，這話是相當有道理的。 A Taiwanese expression describes a person whose bad reputation reaches far and wide as "a dead shrimp or a living king crab—you can smell the stink even before they're cooked." "Horseshoe crab. Couldn't bring it back because they smell terrible" http://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g54245-d1881467-i117623161-Rover_Boat_Tours_Carolina_Rover-Georgetown_South_Carolina.html -------------- "What is a horseshoe crab? The horseshoe crab is a strange, ancient creature that has been around since before the dinosaurs. It is not a crab or even a crustacean. It is more closely related to spiders and scorpions of the Class Arachnida." |
